IMUSA C20666-1063310W 6-Quart Blue Speckled Enamel Stock Pot with Lid

I use this badboy to boil water for pasta and it works great for that. I have used it fairly often since purchasing it and it seems like a quality product. Big enough to mix in all my sauces and whatnot after, but not so large that it's burdensome. I can imagine this would work well for camping due to it's light weight, however I just use this on my normal gas powered stove. Would recommend and if i ever need a second pot I'll probably just order another one of these.

I bought this to use when I am canning. I needed a large pot for cooking the fruit and veggies, especially the tomatoes that is not affected by the acid. Great value for the money. Inexpensive and sturdy. Also, light weight.

In today's world of products being made there exists an important thing. Quality Control.What is this "quality control" I speak about, you may ask...Well, when you have a business that makes a product, take for example a stock pot, there are many steps in the process of manufacturing said stock pot.Resourcing the materials needed to make said product out of. The machinery needed to take materials and shape into the needed design.Assembly of product/s and then after several other steps, we come to Quality Control. Or QC as it's referred to in short. As I referred to it's title when I worked as aQC inspector for companies like Dade Behring and DuPont to name a few.A job that either isn't being done or done incorrectly in the production of this stock pot.Now I understand that this is a $10 item and shouldn't expect high quality, but not putting even the basic level of quality into something makes the whole item cheap.At first glance the pot looks pleasant both with it's blue and white speckled enamel finish and fitting lid. Even the form of shipping was satisfactory. While it did not come in its own box, the shipper did bag it with lid reversed and taped down. And placed in an appropriate sized box and bubble wrap was included to prevent damage during shipping.All this care for a product but not in the care or it's glaze. It looks like it was glazed by first day worker. The inside has drips and smears of enamel. The handles on the sides of the pot and on its lid have crack openings on their end. Which will lead to future rusting from their insides. Which in cooking, rust is bad. It's a $10 pot. And for what I plan to use it for, it will do nicely. But I question how long it will last under normal use before I need to throw away and buy another one. Keep in mind, it's a pot. And pots should last for at least 10 years if not longer. I have an aluminum pot that my grandmother gave my mother before she left for college. And she gave to me when I moved out to my first appointment. My mother was born in 1938 and she left for college when she was 17. Which means, the aluminum stock pot I have or hers, and still use is over 69 years old. I don't think this stock pot will last 6 months. Will update in July if it makes that prediction.News flash!!! It's only been a few days and used pot for first time last night. And the pot is warped. You can tell this about cookware when they shake on the stove when heated up.So I have reduced the original 3 star rating to a one star.

This is a good pot for the money. The metal is on the thin side, and not as thick as grandma's enamel pots. The bottom is slightly convex and can flex if you push it down. But, the enamel coating seems pretty strong throughout. If you're on a budget, and this is all you can afford, don't be afraid to buy it. It should last if you're careful with it, I'm guessing. If you can afford more, I'd recommend getting a more expensive pot. I gave only four stars because of the bottom being slightly convex and thin enough to flex.

JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR.FOR DEEP FRYING&MY GREENS.BEST $11 I EVER SPENT.THANKS SELLER

I bought this for $10 and it's not worth more than that....It's only suitable for cooking light meals/or meals that don't require a lot of time or heat...for example..hard boiled eggs, soups, pasta, etc.I used 5x and the food got stuck to the bottom twice...especially when I used it for rice and barley . It's an ok purchase as long as you use it for light cooking.

I bought this as a soup pop but every time I click in it, it always sticks to the bottom

Just like the vintage enamel pots, love it.
